UP to Procure High-Tech CBRN and Robotic Surveillance for Security
Imagine Uttar Pradesh wants to keep important places and people safe from invisible dangers like viruses or chemicals.
They're getting special tech, like what the Parliament uses, to find and stop these threats.
This includes a big safety net and robots that can check for bad stuff without putting people in harm's way.
The robots can go anywhere, even under cars, and spot explosives.
It's like giving the state a super-powered security upgrade to deal with modern threats.
Uttar Pradesh is planning to procure advanced technology to protect key installations and VIPs from CBRN threats.
The government is consulting with various agencies, including DRDO and ECIL, for a multi-layered safety mechanism.
The CBRN setup will integrate technologies to detect and neutralize threats and may cost up to Rs 10 crore.
The state also plans to procure robotic surveillance devices, inspired by US technology.
These robots can access hazardous zones, scan vehicles for explosives, and offer day and night surveillance.
